7.4
At that time, the Buddha Jaladharagarjitaghoṣasusvaranakṣatrarāhasaṃkusumitābhijña told Bodhisattva Gadgadasvara: 'Do not hold that land in contempt or give rise to thoughts of its inferiority. Kulaputra! That Sahā world is uneven, with mountains of earth and rock, filled with impurities and evils. The Buddha's body is small and low, and the forms of the bodhisattva assembly are also small. Yet your body is forty-two thousand yojanas, and my body is six million eight hundred thousand yojanas. Your body is foremost in upright beauty, with hundreds of thousands of myriads of blessings and exquisitely marvelous radiance. Therefore, when you go, do not hold that land in contempt—neither giving rise to thoughts of inferiority toward the Buddha, the bodhisattvas, nor the land.'
